Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp Butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Pepper
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 8 pieces Crescent roll dough (store-bought)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 can Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 3
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles as per the package instructions.
Step 4
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
Step 5
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and roll it up to seal completely, forming a pillow shape.
Step 6
Dip each chicken pillow in the remaining melted butter, ensuring it's lightly coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs to create a crispy outer layer.
Step 7
Arrange the coated chicken pillows seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the chicken pillows from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
